Tags: d-i

Since d-i switched to 2.6.18 I'm seeing significant delays during boot
of the installer in two places. See dmesg fragment below (full dmesg
attached).

If I boot the installer with an RC1 image (using 2.6.17), there are no
noticeable delays at all in the boot process. dmesg attached as well
for comparison, although I don't see any significant differences.

Both delays with 2.6.18 are completely reproducible.
